Sully Surgery

[Ksullivan]

This morning Sully is having TPLO Surgery. We took him to Purdue University yesterday. It was hard to leave him!! One of the people at the desk has gotten to know Mike and I thru this, and his skin alergy, and could see we were hating leaving him. He tried to reasure us telling us they do this surgery everyday there. He said before he started there he had no idea how common this is.
It just isn't the same without him home. We have a ShihTzu, which I also love, but she doesn't seem as human as Sully does to us. When he looks at us his eyes just show the love he has for us, and when we talk to him (which is all the time), if he doesn't understand the many sentences we say to him, he tilts his head like he is doing the best to understand what we are saying.
Gotta quit writing, while I know he will be alright, I am shedding tears talking about how special he is to us.

Don't cry, He'll be ok. He's in good hands...we're here to support ya! Many hugs to you today...

Oh Kris...I know how you're feeling. But I promise you that as heartbreaking as this is and as difficult as recovery is going to be on all of you, Sully is going to be stronger than ever once all is said and done. And best of all, he'll feel good again! He'll do great, and so will you, I just know it!

Are they giving you a sling? If not, buy this and have it overnighted to you http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=8082

Thanks for the well wishes, and yes we did get a sling years ago with our first Newf, I believe it was thru a club. I always wanted one on hand in case of an emergency, but thanks for the info.
They called me awhile ago, to tell me he did well thru the nite, and they are going to operate at noon today. They said they would call again after he recovers.
Thanks again!

Hang in there... I know it's difficult.... as Bear has had 2 TPLO surgeries in the past 4 months... so I feel your pain.... but know that they will take really good care of him.
